Our Impact
Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theater & Academy knows that exposure to live theatre and arts education closes the gap on economic disparities and impacts the academic and life success of our future workforce. According to Americans for the Arts, students engaged in the arts are:
4x
more likely to take part in a math or science fair
17%
more likely to volunteer in their communities
21%
more likely to vote at an early age
22%
more likely to graduate; dropout rate for socio-economically challenged students decreases from 22% to 4%
Recognizing the transformative power theatre arts can have in the life of a child, FPCTA prioritizes theatre arts access for all by providing low cost programming to families and by intentionally engaging local underserved communities, especially in our home neighborhood of West Huntsville.
Annually, FPCTA awards over $30,000 in free tuition to students for classes and camps and free performances to Title 1 schools.
